"Insects, hand over the treasures our Father God left us, and this Ancestor Witch will spare your lives!"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches had finally arrived. The shout from moments ago was from the hot-tempered Ancestor Witch, Zhurong.

"Space Laws!"

Ancestor Witch Dijiang raised his hand, unleashing Space Laws to restrain the remaining lotus pods, stems, seeds, and soil.

Yuqing Yuanshi quickly intervened, but he was a step too slow, managing to snatch only three lotus seeds.

The rest were all teleported away by Ancestor Witch Dijiang using Space Laws.

"This humble Taoist is of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage—The Grand Pure One Laozi. Greetings, fellow Taoists?"

"I presume you fellow Taoists are also Pangu Descendants?"

As The Grand Pure One Laozi announced his identity, he also inquired about the background of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Only Pangu Descendants could enter this Pangu Legacy. Furthermore, Ancestor Witch Zhurong had previously referred to Pangu as Father God.

All these points already proved the relationship between the Twelve Ancestor Witches and the Great God Pangu.

"Presumptuous! You dare to call yourselves Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

If you are Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, then what are we Twelve Ancestor Witches?"

Ancestor Witch Zhurong flew into a rage, wielding his innate Witchcraft Artifact, the Tianli Fire God Whip, and attacked the Three Pure Ones.

The other Ancestor Witches were not to be outdone and also attacked the Three Pure Ones.

The Grand Pure One Laozi's claim of being Pangu's Orthodox Lineage had touched the Twelve Ancestor Witches' sensitive spot.

If the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, then what were they, the Twelve Ancestor Witches? Pangu's collateral branches?

"You collateral branches of Pangu, daring to challenge your superiors and offend our Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the Three Pure Ones, you are pushing us brothers too far."

Yuqing Yuanshi was furious, unleashing the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and engaging the Ancestor Witches in combat.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuqing Yuanshi cared the most about his identity as Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

In his eyes, the collateral branches like the Ancestor Witches attacking him, the direct descendant, was an act of insubordination.

"Sister Houtu, please keep a close eye on these treasures."

Ancestor Witch Dijiang handed the seized lotus pods and other treasures to Houtu before joining the fray.

Facing the encirclement of the Ancestor Witches, even with the Three Pure Ones' considerable cultivation, they couldn't gain an advantage.

The Three Pure Ones had obtained Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but among the three of them, only Shangqing Tongtian's Green Duckweed Sword possessed the highest offensive power.

However, even the Green Duckweed Sword's offensive power wasn't enough to break through the Ancestor Witches' bodies.

Unable to break through their physical defenses left the Three Pure Ones in a very passive situation.

"Eldest Brother, quickly bring out the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda."

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian simultaneously turned their gaze to The Grand Pure One Laozi, urging him to quickly produce the artifact.

Although the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was the Three Pure Ones' companion treasure, a treasure they all shared.

Since there was only one artifact, it had always been kept by their eldest brother, The Grand Pure One Laozi.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian knew very well that the current situation was dire for the three brothers.

If they didn't deploy the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda soon, the three of them might be suppressed by the Ancestor Witches and pinned to the ground.

The Grand Pure One Laozi quickly took out the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. The three brothers simultaneously channeled their magic power, unleashing this supreme Post-celestial Treasure of Merit.

As the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared, the defensive treasure hovered above the Three Pure Ones, emitting supreme Profound Yellow energy to shield them, making them impervious to all magic.

Although the Three Pure Ones had not yet Proved the Dao and couldn't unleash the full power of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

However, with the three brothers working together to activate this foremost defensive treasure of the Primordial Era, it was unbreakable by anyone below the level of Proving the Dao. Even those with offensive supreme treasures would be useless!

With the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda protecting them, the Ancestor Witches could no longer do anything to the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, since the Three Pure Ones couldn't break through the Ancestor Witches' bodies either, they couldn't harm them.

For a time, both sides entered a stalemate. You couldn't hurt me, and I couldn't hurt you.

"Fellow Taoists, we are all Pangu Descendants. Let's not harm our camaraderie. Let's stop here!"

The Grand Pure One Laozi understood the current situation. Although the three brothers were protected by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, making them invincible to the Twelve Ancestor Witches, this was only temporary.

If their magic power were depleted and they could no longer activate the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, they would eventually be captured.

"You cowards only dare to hide beneath your artifact, yet you claim to be Pangu's Orthodox Lineage. Do you dare to come out and fight us Ancestor Witches?"

Ancestor Witch Zhurong cursed at the Three Pure Ones. He had initially wanted to showcase his prowess and capture the Three Pure Ones, but they had hidden beneath the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, refusing to come out.

This left Ancestor Witch Zhurong helpless and furious.

Facing the Ancestor Witches' taunts, Yuqing Yuanshi was also extremely annoyed.

He had inherited the Great God Pangu's path of artifact refining. If he had forged an artifact that could counter the Ancestor Witches' bodies earlier, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.

He regretted it deeply!

"Third Brother, do you have a way to defeat them?"

Yuqing Yuanshi suddenly turned his gaze to Shangqing Tongtian, as his third brother had inherited the Great God Pangu's mastery of formations.

Perhaps there was a way to defeat the Ancestor Witches and defend the prestige of their Three Pure Ones lineage as Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

"Second Brother, I've been busy comprehending the methods to Prove the Dao and haven't had time to study formations."

"Besides, even if I were to set up formations to fight now, it would still take some time!"

Shangqing Tongtian also felt helpless. If he were given enough time and formation materials, he would have the means to repel the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

But the problem was that there was no time and no formation materials. Even if he, Shangqing Tongtian, was skilled in formations, it would be too late!

"Sigh!"

Yuqing Yuanshi sighed helplessly. He knew he was being too difficult on his third brother.

After all, if his second brother couldn't handle it, how could Shangqing Tongtian, the youngest, manage?

The Three Pure Ones looked up at the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda above them, all feeling a sense of helplessness.

Why was this supreme treasure only capable of defense and not offense?

If the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda could attack, their brotherhood wouldn't be in such a predicament.

Bai Chen: The offensive Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi is in this Great God's hands!

Do you want it? Trade the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda for it!

"Yuanshi, Tongtian, with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda protecting us, follow your elder brother and let's fight our way out."

The Grand Pure One Laozi made his decision. Today, even if he had to reveal his supreme divine ability—One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones—he would lead his two younger brothers out of Pangu's Legacy.

Following The Grand Pure One Laozi's command, the three brothers unleashed their magical treasures. With the boost of their desperate resolve, the combat power of the Three Pure Ones surged.

Bai Chen lay on a cloud, leisurely swinging his paws, eating fruit, and waiting for Houtu to bring out the Great God Bai Chen's fortuitous encounter.

"Eh!"

"It's the Three Pure Ones!"

Bai Chen saw the Three Pure Ones, protected by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, rushing out of Pangu's Legacy in a sorry state.

Ancestor Witch Dijiang led the other Ancestor Witches in pursuit. Although the Three Pure Ones' escape techniques were fast, they were useless against Ancestor Witch Dijiang's mastery of Space Laws and Speed Laws.

"Great God Pangu, you died too early. If you had established who was Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and who was a collateral branch between the Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones before your demise."

"Would the Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones still be fighting so fiercely over the title of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?"

Bai Chen watched the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestor Witches constantly fighting, and couldn't help but sigh.

This was typical of later generations, where the emperor died young without appointing a crown prince, and the princes all fought for the legitimate throne.

And Great God Pangu was that emperor, while the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestor Witches were the princes.

As time passed, the battle between the Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones eventually ended with the Three Pure Ones escaping Buzhou Mountain.

The Ancestor Witches, for some special reasons, could not leave Buzhou Mountain at this time.

Otherwise, given their temperaments, they would have pursued the Three Pure Ones all the way to the immortal realm of Kunlun Ruins to suppress them.

"Houtu, where are this Great God's treasures?"

Seeing Houtu return, Bai Chen quickly flew over to ask her for the travel fee.

If this Witch dared to embezzle Great God Bai Chen's travel fee, don't blame Great God Bai Chen for smashing this Witch's head askew with one claw.

Houtu handed Bai Chen three lotus seeds and then explained:

"Little White, these are yours!"

"There were only nine lotus seeds in total, and the Three Pure Ones snatched three.

Originally, my brothers didn't want to give you any. These three lotus seeds were what my sister and I fought for you."

The Ancestor Witches didn't get much to begin with, and with so many Ancestor Witches, there wasn't enough to go around even if they divided it themselves.

The fact that Bai Chen received these three lotus seeds showed how much pressure Houtu and Xuanming had shouldered.

Although Bai Chen was a little displeased to only receive these three lotus seeds, he didn't make a fuss with Houtu.

It knew that it was those doting brothers like Dijiang who had burned their bridges after crossing the river, and it had little to do with Houtu and Xuanming. One day, Great God Bai Chen would 'reason' with these doting brothers!

Nuwa, who was refining a magical treasure by Bai Chen's side, subconsciously asked when she saw Bai Chen return:

"Little White, what did you find this time?"

This lazy cat had been in Buzhou Mountain for so many epochs, going out to seek fortuitous encounters countless times.

This lazy cat had returned so soon after going out, so it must have had a great harvest.
